Im shocked this wasnt posted before. I found this on http://horrorchannel.co.uk/news.php

"A sequel to the triumphant 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead has been announced. Details are sketchy and plot details a closely guarded secret but one thing is for sure, this will follow from Dawn and will not be a remake of Day of the Dead, as there is one in production already"

Dont know if its true or not, but theres the news. Didnt we just hear there wasnt going to be another one? lol

ive heard tons of rumors about this, some on this very forum i think, but no matter how bad it is ill still probably see it cus it cant be as bad as vampires vs. zombies, and to quote novak "i wouldnt have it any other way".

I'll go see it, no doubt. I won't be expecting much, though. Just another thoughtless summer flick, I guess...

I read that Snyder doesn't want to do it, so hopefully they'll get someone alittle more....well, better to do it.:p

02-Jun-2006, 02:35 PM
Better than Snyder? For this kind of film, how can you find someone better than Snyder?

Dawn 04 wasn't about characters or plot. It was about action and zombies. This one will be too! And Snyder, while definetly not a master director, made a sleak and catchy adventure film out of a completly horrible script.

I'm looking forward to this film, and I'll know what to expect this time: Pure non-stop zombie action with little to no analysing.

I don't believe I've seen that one.

He has had some decent roles, though.

I thought his character, "Shad" on "Striptease" was hilarious. His supporting role in the "Mission Impossible" films was handled well. "Dave" , "Out of Sight" were some other good ones.

After all....He's Marsellus F*cking Wallace, man!:D

*groans and sighs for about eight years*

I hope this is just bullsh*t, there's no need for another one of those flicks. The script for Yawn04 was just hideous and had no meaning to it, and it was yet - another - beginning - of - the - plague - movie.

Another reason I loved "Land", it was a long way down the track of the plague itself, none of that crap with yet more idiots discovering you have to shoot them in the head and running away saying "what are they?" and "she's not dead, she's my mother!" or similar.

However, Shaun of the Dead did it properly, it wasn't even a plague though, it was "Z-Day", which is different, and it was done in a completely differen way.

I'll shut up now, Dj, calm it. :p

Ok I know what the plot of the sequel is. The remaining characters from the first movie kill the dead on the island and start to explore. They find two helicopters. The next thing they find is a young man in is late twenties. This cat takes them to a spot on the island where a small compound has been erected. Next you find that the remaining characters from the original Dawn and Day are their. The ending is where Peter from the original Dawn kill the new arrivals and tells them don't you dare re-make my movie or produce a sequel to it BIATCH!!!!!!!!:cool: :D

Don't pay him no mind. he only calls him a hack because his first film was a remake. If it would have been any thing other than LOTD they would have no argument.

A stack of money doesn't mean quality though, it just means a bunch of horny teenagers and young adults took their girlfriends to see it so they could neck in the backrow. Titanic did almost one billion, but was voted as "worst film of all time" a couple of years ago here in the UK.

If you marketted two hours of staring at a flacid cock just right you could rake in enough cash. Doesn't make it a fantastic flick. :D

Tell the following people that:

*The people are complained about Contagium just after a promotional 30-second teaser (which had nothing to do with the film) came out.
*The people who moaned and groaned up and down about LAND being in a major studio, just because he was outside of his little Pennsylvania club.
*The people who ****ed and moaned about Diamond Dead, and we still haven't seen a single thing from what little production they did go through.

Dawn of the Dead's remake was horrible in comparison to the original (Don't anybody say you can't compare them, this **** platter stole the name and plot). It wasn't a bad film in its own realm. That's right, I just paid it a complement. lol But the way the movie ended, how are you going to do a decent sequel?

I would think differently of Yawn'o4 had Hack Snyder not ripped the name and road coat-tails....As a zombie movie it is fairly decent. But, it was a stolen idea. (but, what's not stolen in some way or another these days?)
As far as a "decent sequel"?? - As long as I get to see more of Sarah Polley besides ONE FOOT (my favorite scene - foot steps from tub) and they give it an original plot instead of hinting at Day of the Dead (GAR), then I wont be so disgusted and hateful toward it.

Yup, there has been a crew out doing this for about a month now. Some of the production crew that worked on Silent Hill were doing it.

As soon as they saw how much money a dead flick could make, the sequel was in the bag.

I liked DOTD 2004 - it woke up a lot of zombies and turned them on to the genre.

He was probably saying stolen idea, because half of the Dawn 04 fanboys say this movie is completely different from the original and should not be compared (despite the fact of the stolen name, concept, and plot). If he were to simply rant, than people would pounce upon him saying that the movies shouldn't be compared because they're completely different. So he pointed out the fact that James Gunn, the one with Scooby-Doo on his resume (:bored:), STOLE a great idea and turned it into an MTV crap fest. Zack Snyder isn't too bad of a director. But James Gunn should take courses on character development.

Agreed, James Gunn's script was the WORST thing about Yawn04. If a flick doesn't have a good script, then it's just going to be a terrible movie, and that's my main and biggest argument against Yawn04 - the p*ss-awful script. It makes no sense, there's self-referential humour chucked in to wink at the MTV ADHD audience members, the characters are completely flat and one dimensional, others are chucked in to simply fill the "boob slot" and the "we haven't killed anyone for 20 minutes so we need someone killed off slot".

Well the island was overun with the zeds, the survivors had no fuel or supplies left in the boat/yacht ... so the logical conclusion is that they pushed off from the deck at double speed, no doubt the zeds in this stinkfest can also swim, so they probably had to kick some heads in while backpaddling for the first hundred metres or so ... and then they would drift on the current for a while before dying of dehydration.

PS, I am one of the few that liked both...but I will say Dawn '04 is more of a popcorn movie that really has not much to do with the masterpiece of GAR's work.

Well, if this is true then Snyder will most likely not be the one directing it. He's just past halfway in his production of 300 and with the Sin City-style of CG-backgrounds to be added in post-production, I can't see Snyder getting any time off to do another film after principal photography is done with 300.


Zack Snyder isn't too bad of a director. But James Gunn should take courses on character development.

I do believe he has if what I saw in Slither was any indication. Very underrated and most misunderstood film this year after Wayne Kramer's Running Scared.
